CVE-2026-34935: PraisonAI: OS Command Injection in MCPHandler.parse_mcp_command()

April 1, 2026 (updated April 6, 2026)

The --mcp CLI argument is passed directly to shlex.split() and forwarded through the call chain to anyio.open_process() with no validation, allowlist check, or sanitization at any hop, allowing arbitrary OS command execution as the process user.
